Exercises can improve the prognosis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We have demonstrated that muscle-specific overexpression of PGC-1α (mPGC-1α) in mouse mimics persistent exercises and ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis. In preliminary studies, we also found that glomerulosclerosis and podocyte mitochondrial damage induced by diabetes were limited in mPGC-1α mice. Since interlukin-15(IL-15), one of myokines upregulated by mPGC-1α, exhibited the similar protective effects on the cultured podocytes, we hypothesize that IL-15 mediates the muscle-kidney communication protecting against podocyte mitochondrial injury. In this proposal, we will study the mPGC-1α mice with diabetes induced by crossing with db/db mice or STZ injection, and investigate the mechanism by which IL-15 maintains podocyte mitochondrial homeostasis. We also plan to examine if Optic Atrophy 1(OPA1) up-regulation induced by HDAC inhibition mediates the protective effects of IL-15. The results of our proposal will help us to understand how exercise ameliorates diabetic kidney disease via muscle-kidney communication and will provide theoretic basis to prevent the development of DKD with exercise or IL-15 therapies.
适当运动能延缓糖尿病肾病(DKD)进展,但机制尚不清楚。我们既往研究显示,小鼠骨骼肌特异性过表达PGC-1α(mPGC-1α) 可模拟运动状态,刺激肌肉释放多种肌肉因子进入血液,作用于肾脏并减轻肾小管间质纤维化。前期研究中,我们观察到mPGC-1α可防止糖尿病导致的肾小球硬化及足细胞损伤,肌肉因子IL-15可减轻高糖引起的足细胞线粒体损伤,提示IL-15是介导运动延缓DKD进展的重要介质,并通过维护线粒体功能,改善足细胞的功能障碍。本项目拟采用mPGC-1α转基因与db/db杂交的2型糖尿病小鼠、STZ诱导的1型糖尿病小鼠和体外培养的足细胞,利用mRNA array、ChIP、基因沉默等技术,结合线粒体形态及呼吸功能实时检测,从体内和体外实验验证我们的假设,并探讨IL-15通过抑制HDAC酶、上调OPA1改善足细胞线粒体动态平衡的机制。本研究将为临床采用肌肉因子或运动疗法防治DKD提供依据
高血糖诱发足细胞线粒体功能障碍,促进糖尿病肾病(DN)的进展。长期的运动可以延缓糖尿病肾病的进展,但其具体机制尚不清楚。我们发现,与对照组的糖尿病小鼠(db/db)相比,骨骼肌特异性PGC-1α过表达(mPGC-1α)的db/db小鼠表现出较轻的足细胞损伤和线粒体功能障碍。通过筛选,我们进一步发现,白细胞介素-15(IL-15),一种在mPGC-1α小鼠中升高的肌肉因子,在其中起重要作用。IL-15可以改善足细胞的线粒体呼吸功能,促进线粒体融合。具体机制是IL-15能诱导线粒体蛋白OPA1的表达增高,维持足细胞的线粒体融合,减轻高血糖引起的线粒体分裂(fission)。进一步深入的机制是IL-15通过诱导OPA1启动子的组蛋白H3乙酰化而增加OPA1的表达。我们采用IL-15治疗,发现STZ诱导的糖尿病小鼠足细胞的线粒体损伤显著减轻,糖尿病肾病的相关指标可以得到显著改善。综上所述,骨骼肌特异性PGC-1α过表达(mPGC-1α)对糖尿病小鼠模型有保护作用,表现在可减少糖尿病对足细胞的损伤,尤其是改善线粒体功能障碍。我们发现其中主要是肌肉因子IL-15起作用,后者在血浆中升高,通过保护足细胞线粒体的功能来介导上述肾脏的保护作用。我们的结果提示,运动通过肌肉因子产生肌肉-肾相互作用,可以改善糖尿病导致的肾脏足细胞线粒体代谢损伤,为糖尿病肾病的治疗提供了新策略和靶点。
